Scripture and the Authority of God

New and substantially expanded edition of Tom Wright's popular book on the role of the Bible in Christian life and thought. Exposes the weaknesses of both 'liberal' and 'conservative' assumptions about how God communicates through scripture. In Scripture and the Authority of God, Tom Wright argues that God is the ultimate source of all authority, and that God's authority is not primarily about providing the right answers to disputed questions, but about God's sovereign, saving purposes being declared and accomplished through Jesus and the Spirit. This revised and expanded edition includes two helpful case studies, looking at what it means to keep Sabbath and at how Christians can defend martial monogamy. These studies not only offer bold biblical insights but also demonstrate the indispensable role of scripture as the primary resource for teaching and guidance in the Christian life.
